The National Road Safety Partnership Program (NRSPP) offers a collaborative network for Australian organisations to build and implement effective road safety strategies in the workplace.

The program offers organisations the resources to improve road safety that best fit their individual operations and, at the same time, improve business productivity through less time and money lost through safety incidents.

The program is not a prescriptive approach but aims to complement existing safety legislation by providing access to a ‘knowledge bank’ from a diverse network of organisations to given them the resources to implement their own initiatives. The tools will help make the business case for organisations shifting their safety focus from 'having' to safety to secure a contract to 'wanting' to because it is simply good business.

What does road safety mean to Telstra?

Driver and vehicle safety is one of Telstra’s highest-ranked HSE risks. The primary concern for Telstra is the risk of failure to operate vehicles in accordance with Telstra’s policies and the law, which may result in a fatality or serious injury to employees, contractors or members of the public and property damage.

Our commitment to improving driver and vehicle safety both within Telstra and the wider community is consistent with our organisational values of Show You Care and Better Together, i.e. we need to work not only within our organisation but also the wider community to reduce the risk of road trauma.
